STATE
CAPITOL, PHOENIX – Next week, the National Hispanic Caucus of State
Legislators will present the Award of Excellence in Education to a group of
Carl Hayden High School students who won a prestigious robotics competition a
decade ago, edging out college students from the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology.

Rep.
Catherine Miranda, D-Phoenix (District 27), serves as the organization’s vice
president of policy and recently nominated the robotics team for the award.

“This
victory deserves continued celebration because the story still inspires
students both in Arizona and across the country,” Miranda said. “I want to
commend this team for its dedication and innovation.”
